Reducing U.S.-Israeli bond to political parties 'destructive' -White House

WASHINGTON, Feb 25 (Reuters) - The White House said on
Wednesday that reducing the U.S.-Israel relationship to two
political parties is "destructive" to the bond between the
countries, clarifying previous comments made by President Barack
Obama's national security adviser Susan Rice.

Rice said on PBS on Tuesday that Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu's speech next week to Congress, expected to assail
U.S. policy on Iran's nuclear program, injects a "destructive"
partisanship into U.S.-Israeli ties.
